As much as I dread winter and mourn summer - I LOVE FALL in Northeast Ohio!
Pumpkin everything, leaves turning, and trick or treating are just a few of my favorite things. But, I actually have a list of things that we will be attempting to check off our list. Some are new and some are our traditions.
What to do this fall in Northeast Ohio
Chalk Fest at the Cleveland Museum of Art - September 19 - 20
This is one of our favorites to kick-off the season of Fall festivals!
Large square (approx. 3 x 4 ft.) and a 24-color box of chalk: $16.Small square (approx. 2 x 3 ft.) and a 12-color box of chalk:$8.
If you are nervous about chalking on the sidewalk, there is a workshop the weekend before but you can always just browse.
Festival-goers can expect:
Last year we had a membership, and I don't remember paying. And, I don't remember it being $20 for a carload of non-members so I suggest loading up a car to take advantage of the by the car pricing. Even for a family of four - $5 each is worth it!
Beriswill Farms has been located in Valley City since 1955 and raising a wide range of agriculture products: corn, soybeans, berries, vegetables, pumpkins and beef cattle. In recent years, the focus has shifted more to vegetable farming to meet the needs of a growing Medina County.

Halloweekends at Cedar Point Open September 19!

Ingenuity Festival - October 2 - 4
This is by far my favorite of all of the festivals. I must admit, last year was not as well done as in the past, but I have super high hopes for this year. It will be at Voinovich Park by the Rock Hall and should be a great time!
Goblins in the Garden - October 3 - 4
This has become a family tradition - dress up, trick or treat and play on haystacks. My kids love this!Last year we had a membership, and I don't remember paying. And, I don't remember it being $20 for a carload of non-members so I suggest loading up a car to take advantage of the by the car pricing. Even for a family of four - $5 each is worth it!
Okober Fest on Put-in-Bay - October 10 - 11
Not one we've been, too but if there is a way we can swing this - the Hubs and I will be trying sans kids!Spooky Pooch Parade - October 17
This parade of pooches is in Lakewood at Kaufman park. How can anyone resist cute dogs in costume!Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Circus XTREME - October 21 - 25
I adore the circus. I can't help it but I do and this may be the last time you will be able to see elephants in the acts. I have such mixed emotions about this. They've always been my favorite even though I feel bad for them. Anywhoo! I will be giving away tickets closer to the event and you can see our experience from last year's performance.
ColorFall at the Botanical Gardens now until November 1 and Boo-tanicl Bash October 24
Fall in the garden is simply gorgeous. It is a must for anyone in Northeast Ohio or are planning a visit.
